Vancouver, B.C. – April 3rd, 2020 – Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) would like to provide a

corporate update on operations at the Merritt core facility and Shovelnose gold property in British

Columbia, Canada and its plans to manage risks posed by COVID-19.

The Company's priority is to protect the health and safety of its employees, contractors, stakeholders,

families and communities. The Company has temporarily ceased operations at the Merritt core

facility, including drilling at the Shovelnose gold property. All employees and contractors are being

encouraged to work from home. At this time, the Company is pleased to report that none of its

employees or contractors have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Exploration and drilling activities will resume once it is safe to do so. Results from the drilling

completed to date will be released in due course. The Company is well financed to weather this

unprecedented global health crisis and to quickly ramp up operations and drilling when permissible.

Gareth Thomas, President and CEO of Westhaven, stated: "Providing a safe work environment for our

employees is always priority. Taking measures to reduce potential contacts between people and

practicing good hygiene will not only protect our employees, con tractors, stakeholders, families and

the communities in which we operate but also help to slow down the spread of the virus.”

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies

of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
